NAIROBI — Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has been formally confirmed as the leader of the Jubilee Party, following a gazette notice issued by the Registrar of Political Parties on June 30. The announcement settles years of internal conflict and power struggles within the party.
Registrar Ann Nderitu stated that the changes came after a consent was filed in the High Court, allowing the party to proceed with the leadership reorganization.
The Gazette Notice officially removed nominated MP Sabina Chege and East African Legislative Assembly MP Kanini Kega from their contested leadership claims. Both had previously declared themselves interim party leaders during the period of dispute.
With Uhuru Kenyatta reaffirmed as party leader, Jeremiah Kioni also retains his position as Secretary General. The updated party structure introduces Beatrice Gambo as Deputy Party Leader in charge of strategy, replacing Jimmy Angwenyi.
The new leadership lineup includes Kudos Muiruri, who will manage outreach, and Joseph Manje, who takes charge of programs. David Murathe continues as Deputy National Chairman. Yasin Noor replaces Joshua Kutuny as Deputy Secretary General.
Saitoti Torome has been named National Chairperson, taking over from Nelson Dzuya. Pauline Njoroge is now the Deputy Organising Secretary, replacing Mutava Musyimi.
The changes mark the end of a prolonged leadership dispute that divided party officials and stalled internal operations. Jubilee Party, once a dominant political force in Kenya, has experienced sharp internal disagreements since 2022, leading to parallel camps and conflicting declarations of authority.
Registrar Nderitu’s confirmation closes the chapter on contested leadership and signals a new phase for the party under Kenyatta’s renewed stewardship. The party is now expected to focus on restructuring and regaining political ground ahead of future elections.
